I guess it's intentional but it's interesting the way the CW Control panel grabs focus from the K3 Control. If I had the CW Control panel open I would be using it's memories for CW instead of the internal ones so that's OK. I wonder about Macro's though but I see that that would only require a double click on the Macro button (one to get focus and the second to run the macro before the focus shifts back to the CW control) so that should work.
Just seen the problem and found the failure. A window auto activate feature is a good idea!
In the VFO B box where IF Center is in VFO A it says "Different Bands". I am trying to figure out what that means.
In the VFO IND config menu, you can configure if VFO B can be set on a different band. This message is just a reminder.
I noticed the NR was on for my Sub Receiver when I didn't realize it was since that won't show on the display panel of the K3 if NR is off on the Main.
This will work correct only in MCU version 3.76 or newer!

Yes, but unless you use "B SET" to check it you won't realize it's on on the Sub only except by seeing it in your info box. That's handy!

For the Logging-, RTTY-, CW- and K3 window I added an option in the Window menu. (Menu-->Window-->Auto activate)
When this option is set, the applicable window will get the focus when you move the mouse over the window. No need for a double click. This behaviour has some advantages as some disadvantages, try it out and report please.

I checked Auto Activate but I don't get the behavior you describe.
The only window that "auto activates" is the Log window. The others don't get focus unless I click on them.

You have to activate this option for each window individually.

I too have been playing and I really love it
It is much more useful than I thought it would be. I have a few thoughts but I need to get used to the interface a bit more first before I jump
Thanks again Tom
